The Admissions Office recommends that applications be on file by March 1 for summer or fall
admission; November 1 for spring admission. Falsification or omission of application information will void admission to
Texas Tech University.

Students are admitted to a specific college within the University. The colleges may set various requirements
for continuance in certain degree programs in addition to the general University minimum requirements.

First-Time Freshman Admission. To gain admission for the first time to Texas Tech, an applicant must

·Be a high school graduate, with acceptable credits for high school subjects.

·File an application to Texas Tech University and pay a processing fee of $25.

·Have acceptable scores on either the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or the American College Test (ACT).
Test scores are not required for high school graduates who have been out of high school for at least
five years.

The following high school subjects and credits (in units) are required for admission to the University.

Unless two units of credit in a single foreign language have been received in high school, at least two semesters of a single
foreign language must be taken at the college level.

Admission. Applicants may be considered for admission to the undergraduate divisions of the University
by graduation from an accredited high school, by transfer from an accredited college, or by entrance examination.
The completed application, test scores, and other applicable qualifying factors constitute the basis upon which
eligibility is considered. Students who meet the stated requirements may reasonably expect to be admitted.
However, additional factors may be considered in determining the applicant's eligibility for admission.

As a state-assisted institution, Texas Tech University recognizes its responsibility to provide excellent
educational opportunities for its residents. Since experience indicates that prospective students with poor academic records
have little chance of successfully completing degrees at Texas Tech, class rank in high school and scores obtained
from Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and the American College Test (ACT) are used to help predict potential
academic performance. Each undergraduate applicant is required to submit an application on forms furnished by
the Admissions Office or State of Texas Public University Common Application form and an official high school
transcript that includes the applicant's rank in the high school graduating class. Scores on the SAT or ACT are also required.
In addition, applicants must provide information on the application form regarding high school course work,
honors or advanced placement, extracurricular activities, leadership experiences, proposed field of study, civic or
other service activities, and any other information they wish to provide such as socioeconomic background,
family educational background, bilingual proficiency, and other information that may be beneficial to the
Admissions Committee. Applicants who do not meet the assured admission criteria will have their records reviewed in order
to assess the impact of these other factors on their potential for success.

Assured Admission. Students who graduate from an accredited high school with required course work
will be assured admission if they present the combination rank in class and minimum test scores indicated below:

Assured admission will be granted all students who hold scholarships awarded by an official Texas Tech
University scholarship committee.

Admission Review. Applicants who do not meet the assured admission criteria will have their records
reviewed in order to evaluate other factors that could predict success at Texas Tech. Applicants will be individually
reviewed in a holistic manner by a committee with faculty, staff, and student representation. Additional information
included on the application will be considered for the purpose of identifying those students who can be successful and
graduate from the University.

Provisional Admission. Students not admitted through the review process may be admitted provisionally
by completing a prescribed number of hours in specific General Education courses in either the summer after high
school graduation or the following spring and summer after high school. General Education courses include
English, mathematics, laboratory science, history, political science, foreign language, psychology, or sociology. For
a complete listing, see "General Education Requirements" in this catalog. Remedial or developmental courses
may not be used to satisfy these requirements. The following criteria apply.

If course work requirements are completed at Texas Tech, either:

7 hours of required General Education courses with a grade-point average (GPA) of at least 2.50 with
the required course work to include 1 hour of credit for the freshman seminar (i.e., Tech Transition); or

13 hours of required General Education courses with at least a 2.00 GPA with the required course work
to include 1 hour of credit for the freshman seminar (i.e., Tech Transition).

If course work requirements are completed at another institution, 12 hours of required General Education
courses with a minimum 2.50 GPA is required.

Texas Academic Skills Program (TASP). The Texas Academic Skills Program (TASP) was
implemented to ensure that students enrolled in Texas public colleges and universities possess the necessary academic skills
to succeed. The TASP testa diagnostic assessment of reading, mathematics, and writing skillsmust be taken
by entering part-time and full-time undergraduate students.

The following students may be exempt from TASP requirements:

·Students who have previously earned a baccalaureate degree

·Students who earned 3 or more college-level credit hours from an accredited college or
university prior to September 1, 1989

·Students who have achieved high test scores on one of the following:

(a) the high school exit-level Texas Assessment of Academic Skills (TAAS) test­1770 or better on writing,
TLI (Texas Learning Index) X-86 on math, and TLI X-89 on reading within three years,

(b) the American College Testing exam (ACT)­23 or better composite with at least a 19
verbal and 19 math within five years, or

(c) the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT)­1070 or better composite with at least a 500
verbal and 500 math (970 composite with 420 verbal and 470 math for tests dated before April 1995) within five years.

Students seeking entry into teacher certification programs may be exempted only on the basis of high test scores.

TASP test scores are not used to determine admission status. However, entering students must test
before enrolling in college-level courses in Texas public institutions of higher education. Students transferring from
private or out-of-state institutions may complete alternate testing before beginning their first semester at Texas Tech.

Students are strongly encouraged to take the TASP test before coming to Texas Tech so that the scores
may be used to help determine initial placement in college courses. TASP test registration usually must be done a
month prior to the scheduled testing date. Six or more test dates are available each year at 110 Texas locations.
TASP test registration booklets are available at most Texas public colleges and universities or by writing to the
testing company, National Evaluation Systems, Inc., P.O. Box 140347, Austin, TX 78714-0347.

The TASP test fee is paid by the student (fee vouchers may be available in the Financial Aid Office for
some students with exceptional need). Test scores should be released to Texas Tech University by indicating Code
323 on the TASP test registration form.

Students who have tested but not attained the established minimum scores on all three sections of the test
are required by Texas law to obtain TASP advising and to enroll in a formal program of skills development each
semester until they have passed all sections of the test. Assigned skills development must be completed as a condition
of enrollment. Students whose term enrollment would result in 60 or more semester credit hours completed will
be blocked from registration in any 3000 or 4000 level (upper division) courses until they have passed all sections
of the test.

For further information on testing, contact the TASP Office in Admissions and Records, 136 West Hall,
or telephone (806) 742-1183. Questions about TASP skills development should be directed to the TASP
Skills Development Office in 72 Holden Hall, telephone (806) 742-3242.

New Student Orientation Conferences. New freshman and transfer students admitted to Texas Tech
for fall or spring may attend a new student orientation conference. Students, parents, and guests are included in
the programming aspects of the conferences that are designed to orient and introduce students to the University and
the Lubbock community. Participants will learn about student involvement, student services, and academic services
and will meet with an academic advisor and register for courses. All new freshman and transfer students admitted to
the University will receive conference registration materials and are encouraged to attend. Questions regarding
the conferences may be addressed to the Office of New Student Relations, 154 West Hall, (806) 742-1480.

Admission of International Students. Graduates of foreign secondary schools who have completed
the equivalent of at least an American high school diploma may apply for admission to Texas Tech by writing to
the Admissions Office. With the official application form, international applicants must furnish original documents,
or official certified copies, indicating the nature and scope of their educational program. Students whose native
tongue is not English must also present a score of at least 550 on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL),
unless they have graduated from a U.S. high school with a minimum of two years attendance. (This includes
permanent residents of the United States as well as transfer students.) Information concerning the TOEFL may be obtained
from Educational Testing Service, P.O. Box 899, Princeton, New Jersey 08540, U.S.A. Further testing will be given
once the student arrives on campus to verify competency. Students lacking adequate English proficiency will be
required to enroll in basic English courses.

International students who are not in the United States at the time of application should apply a year in advance.
International students will not be admitted to the University until they can prove their ability to support
themselves financially (a minimum of $17,300 for the academic year in addition to travel money is necessary; this is subject
to change if tuition, fees, or room and board charges are modified). The tuition rate for international students is
$246 per semester hour. In addition, an administrative fee of at least $250 per semester and $125 per summer term
is charged for certain sponsored international students.

A nonrefundable processing fee is required for all applicants. Those applying for either undergraduate
or graduate programs will not be considered unless their applications are accompanied by an International Money
Order in the amount of $50 (U.S.), or U.S. Postal Money Order for applicants in the U.S., payable to Texas Tech University.
Permanent residents are required to pay a $25 fee.

Admission of Transfer Students. Undergraduate students who have attended another accredited
college may be accepted for admission to Texas Tech provided they meet certain requirements.

Students must apply for admission at least 30 days before the beginning of the semester. They must
present official transcripts of their
entire academic record from all institutions in which they have been or are enrolled.
(The official transcript must have the signature of the proper college official and the impression of the raised college seal.)
Transfer students must also provide a high school transcript for use in advisement and placement.

Transfer applicants may be admitted to the University in one of three ways:

·Transfer of 24 or more hours from an accredited institution with a minimum 2.25 GPA and eligibility to
return to the institution most recently attended.

·Transfer of 12 to 23 hours including at least 12 hours of required basic courses from an accredited
institution with a minimum 2.50 GPA.

·If transferring with less than 12 hours, meet the same standards for admission as required of new
freshmen entering from high school and have a minimum 2.00 cumulative GPA in work completed in addition to
eligibility to return to the institution most recently attended.

Note: Provisionally admitted students who choose to transfer work to Texas Tech must submit 12 hours of
required basic courses with a minimum 2.50 GPA.

Admission of Former Texas Tech Students. Former students of the University who have not
attended Texas Tech during either the immediately preceding fall or spring semester are required to complete an
application for readmission. The application should reach the Office of Admissions and Records at least 30 days prior to
regular registration for the semester the student plans to attend. Students on suspension from Texas Tech University
must apply for readmission at least 60 days prior to the beginning of the semester they plan to attend. Students who
are readmitted after first suspension will be required to successfully complete XL-0201, "Strategies for Learning,"
during the first semester of their readmission. A nonrefundable fee of $100 will be collected for this course.
Attendance in XL 0201 is mandatory from the first day of classes. Absences accumulate from the beginning of the
semester. Three absences will result in a student being withdrawn from the University.

A former student of the University who has afterward attended another institution will be considered as a
transfer student and should be aware that the entire academic record (Texas Tech and all other college work) will be used
in determining eligibility for readmission.

Students returning from suspension may apply for readmission to the college from which they were
suspended or to another college if they have decided upon a different major or career goal.

Admission of Graduate Students. Full details of admission requirements for those wishing to enter
the graduate program at Texas Tech are published in
the Graduate Catalog, which is issued annually. A copy may
be obtained from the Graduate Admissions Office, Texas Tech University, Box 41030, Lubbock, TX 79409-1030.
Those who wish to enter the graduate program in order to work toward a master's or doctor's degree will be
required to take the Aptitude Test of the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE). (Master's programs in business require
the GMAT.) GRE scores must be received before final decisions can be made concerning applications for admission
to graduate degree programs.

Academic Fresh Start. The Texas legislature has authorized public universities to permit residents to
apply for admission to and enroll as undergraduate students without considering the applicant's previous academic
records under certain instances. If the applicant elects to seek admission under the "academic fresh start" program,
neither academic course credits nor grades earned by the applicant ten or more years prior to the starting date of the
semester in which the applicant seeks to enroll will be considered by the university. By the same token, an applicant who
is admitted as a student under this plan may not receive any course credit for courses undertaken ten or more
years prior to the enrollment.

Other standard admissions criteria generally applied to persons seeking admission to the University are
not affected by this plan.

If a student who enrolls under this program completes a prescribed course of study, earns a baccalaureate
degree, and applies for admission to a postgraduate or professional program offered by a public institution of
higher education, the admitting institution will consider only the grade-point average of the applicant established by
the course work completed after the student enrolled under this plan (along with other criteria the institution
normally uses to evaluate applicants for admission).

Special Admission. The University may, under unusual or special circumstances, waive the
admission requirements for a limited number of applicants.

A student who has not graduated from high school and who has not attended college may be considered
for admission by the Admissions Committee.

Specific terms of this policy are established and periodically revised by the Texas Tech administration.

Special Undergraduate Enrollments for Students Still in High
School. Opportunities are available for the following above-average students who have not yet finished high school to enroll in college-level courses
before their high school graduation.

·Students participating in the Lubbock Exemplary Academic Program (LEAP) of the Lubbock
Independent School District, with permission of their high school.

·Students attending local high schools who have achieved college entrance examination scores of at least
1180 composite on the SAT or 27 composite on the ACT, with permission of their high school.

·High school seniors with a class standing in the top quarter of their class, with the permission of their high
school, may enroll during the summer only.

For further information on special undergraduate enrollments, contact the Associate Director of
Undergraduate Admissions in 136 West Hall or call 742-1183.

Seniors' Academy. The Seniors' Academy is specifically designed for students age 55 and above who
wish to enrich their later years through the adventure of life-long learning. The academy offers streamlined
admissions and registration procedures to accommodate adult learners.

If you enroll in the Seniors' Academy, either to earn a degree or to take a series of classes for personal
enrichment, you will be able to take advantage of:

·Flexible entrance procedures. No transcripts or SAT or ACT scores will be required.

·Transfer procedures that allow many classes completed at other colleges or universities to help fulfill Texas
Tech degree requirements.

·Simplified registration procedures.

·Special counseling with adult learning experts to determine an appropriate course of study, especially
tailored to your interests and aptitudes.

·Academic counseling and tutoring at no extra expense to help you brush up on study skills and
fundamentals through the PASS Center.

·Adult learner orientation sessions to assure that you adjust easily to campus life and are introduced to
the University's various resources, such as the Library, the Counseling Center, and the ATLC.

For more information on the Seniors' Academy, or for application forms, contact the Texas Tech Visitor
Center at 742-1299 or come by the Visitor Center located in the Administration Building.

Transfer of Credits from Other Colleges and
Universities. Once official transcripts are received by
the Office of Admissions and Records, all college-level, nonvocational courses completed with a passing grade
at accredited colleges and universities (not including trade or technical schools) will be evaluated for acceptance
of transfer credit. The academic dean of the college offering the program in which a student is enrolled has
authority for determining which courses will be applied toward any specific program, except that no transferred
course completed with a grade below C- may be applied to fulfill course requirements in majors, minors, or specializations.
While all credit hours presented on the sending institution's transcripts will be evaluated and equivalent
college-level courses posted to the student's academic record, a maximum of 66 semester credit hours from two-year colleges
may be applied towards degree requirements.

Credit hours will be applied to the various degree programs and majors when courses are deemed equivalent
to the Texas Tech courses that satisfy various program requirements.

When a student has been accepted for transfer to Texas Tech from a nonaccredited institution, the student
must complete 30 semester credit hours of work in residence at Texas Tech with at least a 2.0 GPA and receive
approval from the academic dean in order to validate credits for transfer.

The following guidelines apply to the transfer of college credit.

·Original copies of official college transcripts will be reviewed and course work evaluated before transfer
credit will be posted to a student's permanent academic record. Courses that may have been accepted for credit
by another institution will not automatically be accepted by Texas Tech.

·Nonvocational, college-level courses completed with a grade of D or above at another accredited
institution, including courses taken on a pass-fail basis and passed, will normally be accepted for transfer. No
transferred course completed with a grade below C- may be applied to fulfill course requirements in majors, minors,
or specializations. Courses completed with codes indicating no grade or credit will not be transferred.
Vocational and technical courses will not normally be accepted for transfer. Transferability of courses will not be
affected by a student's academic standing (i.e., probation, suspension), but credits earned while on academic
suspension from Texas Tech University will apply to a degree plan only if approved by the student's academic dean.

·Remedial courses (including English as a Second Language) will not be accepted for transfer and the credit
hours will not be reflected on the student's academic record at Texas Tech.

·Nonvocational college-level courses from a nonaccredited institution may be posted to the student's
academic record only after the student has validated the credits for transfer with the student's academic dean according
to Texas Tech policy.

·Credit by examination will be accepted when the student provides documentation of appropriate test scores
on an original score report from the national testing organization or official high school transcript. Credit will
be awarded according to Texas Tech's credit by examination guidelines.

·Credit granted for nontraditional educational experiences by community colleges or other universities will not
be accepted for transfer. These include courses taken at a nondegree granting institution (e.g. military); life or
work experience; and work completed at specialized proprietary schools.

·Credit for specialized support courses such as math, science, and English intended for use in an
occupational program will not be transferred.

·Credit hours taken at a junior or community college may not be transferred as upper division work, even
when the Texas Common Course Numbering System designation indicates similar course content.

·When a course has been repeated at another institution, only the most recent course and grade will be
transferred and posted to the student's academic record, unless the course is designated in the institution's catalog as
"may be repeated for credit."

·Texas Tech will not transfer credit for any college course documented only on a high school transcript.

Texas Common Course Numbering System. The Texas Common Course Numbering System
(TCCNS) has been designed to aid students in the transfer of general academic courses between Texas public colleges
and universities throughout the state. The system insures students that courses designated as common will be
accepted for transfer and the credit will be treated as if the courses had actually been taken on the receiving institution's campus.
Texas Tech courses identified as common will have the Common Course Number listed in brackets at the end of
each course description.

Resolution of Transfer Disputes for Lower-Division Courses.
In the event a dispute occurs involving the transfer of lower-division courses, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board has established the
following procedures to resolve the dispute:

1. If an institution of higher education does not accept course credit earned by a student at another
institution of higher education, the receiving institution shall give written notice to the student and to the sending institution
that transfer of the course credit is denied.

2. The two institutions and the student shall attempt to resolve the transfer of the course credit in
accordance with the Coordinating Board rules and/or guidelines.

3. If the transfer dispute is not resolved to the satisfaction of the student or the sending institution within
45 days after the date the student received written notice of denial, the institution whose credit is denied for transfer
shall notify the Commissioner of Higher Education of the denial.

The Commissioner of Higher Education or the Commissioner's designee shall make the final
determination about the dispute concerning the transfer of course credit and give written notice of the determination to the
involved student and institutions.

Concurrent Attendance at Texas Tech and Other
Institutions. A student registered at Texas Tech
who wishes to register concurrently at another institution must obtain written approval from the academic dean at
Texas Tech. This approval applies to all residence courses, extension courses, correspondence courses in
progress elsewhere at the time of registration, and to those begun during the semester.

A student registered at another institution who wishes to enroll concurrently for credit at Texas Tech will
be considered as a transfer student and will be required to meet the standards for such students.

In no case will concurrent registration that would result in enrollment beyond a normal load at this institution
be permitted.

Undergraduate Credit by Examination. It is the general policy of the University to recognize
academic achievement of students gained by means other than through performance in organized classes. Students will
be given the opportunity to receive credit by special examination in all courses where proficiency may be
practicably determined by examination.

Students may achieve a high level of proficiency in certain subject areas through advanced work in high
school, participation in advanced placement programs, or independent study. The University strongly encourages
such superior attainment, recognizes it for academic purposes, and permits students who have done such work to
obtain course credit through examination. A grade of Pass (P) will be given on the examination to those earning credit,
but the grade will not be considered in determining grade-point averages. Course credit earned by examination
is recorded by the Registrar on the student's transcript as "(Number) hours of credit via credit by examination
program in (course equivalent)," and no grade points are awarded. Course credit by examination may not be used to
satisfy the 30-hour minimum residence credit requirement for graduation. Any current or former Texas Tech student
(or prospective student) may attempt to earn credit by examination for any undergraduate course provided the
student has neither passed nor failed that course at Texas Tech. The student is responsible for complying with the
following procedures:

1. The student is responsible for having test scores sent to the Admissions Office unless tests are taken at
Texas Tech University. Score reports from other university test centers must be requested from the Testing,
Evaluation, Assessment, and Measurement Center, 213 West Hall. The student is responsible for completing tests for lower
level courses in sufficient time to qualify for registering for higher level courses.

2. New students at Texas Tech may attempt credit by examination for degree credit during their freshman
and sophomore years.

3. Transfer students with more than 66 transferable credit hours may attempt credit by examination until
the end of their first long semester at Texas Tech.

4. Juniors and seniors or students in their third and fourth years at Texas Tech may attempt credit by
examination for degree credit in freshman and sophomore courses only upon written approval from their academic dean's office.

5. After the 12th class day, credit by examination may be attempted for a course one is enrolled in only
upon written approval of the appropriate academic dean's office.

6. Credit by examination may be attempted for a course with the same specific sub-subject area as a
more advanced course in the same specific sub-subject area completed in the classroom only upon written approval of
the appropriate academic dean's office.

7. In cooperation with and in compliance with federal nondiscrimination laws and policies, credit by
examination is open to all persons. Students with mostly A and B grades who have higher admission test scores are
encouraged to consider attempting credit by examination.

8. College Level Examination Program (CLEP) tests cannot be repeated before six months have passed,
unless approval has been obtained from your academic dean's office.

There are five separate programs by which a student may earn course credit by examination. These include
(1) specified CEEB Achievement Tests, (2) CEEB Advanced Placement Examinations that are a part of the
Advanced Placement Programs (AP) available in a limited number of secondary schools, (3) specified subject examinations
of the CEEB College Level Examination Program (CLEP), (4) departmental examinations prepared, administered,
and scored by faculty members who teach the related course, and (5) credit for an International Baccalaureate
(IB) examination.

The student is responsible for taking the tests early enough to allow sufficient time for scores to be reported
to the University and processed by the Admissions Office. Many courses in the credit by examination program
are prerequisites for higher level courses; therefore, students seeking credit by examination must plan so that this
credit can be assured before registering for advanced courses. Without prior approval of their academic dean's
office, students may not receive credit by examination for a course if they have already passed a more advanced course
in the same subject area. The deadline for registering to take the CEEB Achievement and CLEP examinations at
a national testing center is four to six weeks before the scheduled test. The deadline for registering for
credit-by-examination testing at Texas Tech is five working days prior to the date of the test. Generally, test results or
scores are mailed four to five weeks after the test date. Information regarding test dates and fees for national
standardized examinations is available from the Testing, Evaluation, Assessment, and Measurement Center at Texas Tech. It
is the student's responsibility to request that his or her CEEB test scores be sent to the University.
Information concerning each of the testing programs follows.

1. Credit for CEEB Achievement
Tests. The CEEB Achievement Tests are part of the CEEB
Admissions Testing Program. Each year there are several national administrations of the CEEB Achievement Tests.
Students should plan to take the specified tests at national testing centers during their senior year of high school at an
early testing date in order that scores may be reported to the University by June. In addition to the national
administrations, there are administrations of the Achievement Tests recognized for credit by Texas Tech during the Early
Registration Conferences held on the campus each summer.

Further information concerning the CEEB Achievement Tests may be obtained from your high school
counselor or principal, the College Entrance Examination Board, Box 592, Princeton, New Jersey 08540, or the
Testing, Evaluation, Assessment, and Measurement, Center of Texas Tech University, Box 45002, Lubbock, Texas
79409-5002.

2. Credit for CEEB Advanced Placement Program Examinations
(AP). The Advanced Placement Examination is the final examination for a nationally standardized course offered in a limited number of
secondary schools under the auspices of the Advanced Placement Program. The objective of the AP is to allow students to
begin work toward college credit while still in high school. Students should check with their high school counselor
or principal as to the availability of the AP examinations in their school. The AP is offered once a year during May
at participating high schools.

3. Credit for CEEB College Level Examination Program (CLEP)
Examinations. Under the College Level Examination Program, the University will award credit for only the specified examinations. As with the other
CEEB testing programs, a student may attempt a CLEP examination at a national CLEP testing center before enrolling
and have the scores reported to the University. These examinations are offered on the campus during the
Early Registration Conferences held each summer, several times each year to students currently enrolled, and monthly
at national CLEP test centers.

Further information concerning the CLEP tests may be obtained from your high school counselor or
principal, College Level Examination Program, Box 1821, Princeton, New Jersey 08540, or the Testing,
Evaluation, Assessment, and Measurement Center of Texas Tech University, Box 45002, Lubbock, Texas 79409-5002.

4. Credit by Departmental Examination. Any current or former Texas Tech student (or prospective
student) may attempt to earn credit by examination for any undergraduate course provided the student has neither
passed nor failed that course at Texas Tech. Several departments within the University prepare, administer, score, and
award credit for their own examinations. Credit for specific courses is given upon satisfactory performance of
the comprehensive examinations that are administered by the departments responsible for the courses and
recommended by the deans of the respective colleges. In order to be eligible to attempt credit by departmental
examination, a student must not have previously audited, enrolled in, or attempted credit by examination in the course. A
student must apply in writing to the responsible department at least 30 days prior to taking a departmental examination
for credit. Further information regarding any credit by departmental examination should be secured directly from
the academic department concerned.
